Hell's Kitchen

Meet Chef Victor Delacroix, a culinary genius with a chilling secret! By night, he was known as "The Butcher", a ruthless serial killer and assassin wielding a blood-stained meat cleaver. His grotesque talent? He gains the abilities and attributes of whatever – or whomever – he eats. This macabre skill set made him one of the most feared figures in the criminal underworld. Fed up with his gruesome life of crime, Victor decides to vanish from the radar and start fresh. He moves to the capital and opens an exclusive restaurant called "Hell's Kitchen." His dishes are unparalleled, attracting an elite clientele: the wealthy, the corrupt, and the morally bankrupt, each harboring their own dark tastes... In Hell's Kitchen, every dish tells a story, and every meal is an experience - often literally a slice of life. Yet, his patrons are blissfully unaware of Victor’s true identity as The Butcher, concealed behind the charming facade of a master chef. As Victor tries to carve out a new existence, the ghosts of his past start to close in. Sinister patrons with dangerous appetites, old enemies seeking revenge, and the lure of his own monstrous cravings threaten to drag him back into the abyss. The line between his dual lives blurs, and each night becomes a battle to keep his sinister nature at bay. "Hell's Kitchen" is a twisted tale of redemption and temptation, where humanity and monstrosity collide. In a world where darkness is served on a silver platter, can Victor ever truly escape his blood-soaked past, or will the shadows consume him once again?

A Charming Night Out

New Albion's streets were cloaked in darkness, the lamplights casting long, eerie shadows. The city bustled even at this hour, with vendors still hawking their goods and the occasional sound of a bard's lute drifting through the air. Among the city's night dwellers walked Gabriel Thorn, Selene Duval, and Steven Adler, each one blending into the shadows with practiced ease.

Gabriel Thorn led the trio, his movements smooth and confident. He glanced back at Selene and Steven, noting their contrasting demeanors. Selene's eyes darted around, ever watchful, while Steven's were filled with a calculating gleam, as if assessing the potential of everything and everyone they passed.

"This city has changed," Selene remarked, her voice a low murmur. "But the undercurrents remain the same."

"Change is inevitable," Gabriel responded, his tone dismissive. "It's how we adapt to it that matters."
